Drago Forneria Genovese, a Genoa-based family bakery, implemented ICONICS software via integrator SINTIA LAB and consultant StG to overcome fragmented machine data and limited process visibility. The solution aggregates data from ovens, mixers, and packaging lines into a unified platform linked to the ERP. Results include real-time monitoring, data-driven decisions, lower operating costs, higher productivity, and improved data security without expanding headcount.

Key takeaways

Unified data collection from multi-vendor bakery equipment into single MES layer

Direct machine-to-ERP integration eliminated manual data transfer steps

Real-time KPI dashboards enable immediate response to production issues

Productivity rose while operational costs declined without workforce expansion

Data security controls restrict access to authorized personnel only
